The Menpo Project is a set of BSD licensed Python frameworks and associated tooling that provide end-to-end solutions for 2D and 3D deformable modeling. The project includes training and fitting code for various state-of-the-art methods such as:

Packages

The Menpo Project consists of a family of packages (primarily Python), each designed to solve one problem well:

menpo
The heart of the Menpo Project. menpo contains all core functionality needed for the project in well tested, mature, stable package.
menpo is the numpy of the Menpo ecosystem - the foundation upon which all else is built. Even if you aren't interested
in deformable modelling, menpo's minimal dependencies and general algorthims and data structures makes it an ideal standalone library
for use in a wide variety of Computer Vision situations.

menpofit
Implementations of state-of-the-art 2D deformable models. Each implementation includes training and fitting code.
menpofit contains the crown jewels of the Menpo Project - most people are interested in using the Menpo Project for the
menpofit package.

menpodetect
Wraps a number of existing projects that provide functionalities for training and fitting generic object detection techniques.
It is designed in order to have full compatibility with menpofit. Not all of the wrapped
projects fall under the same BSD license and so care must be taken when using this project to adhere to the sub-project licenses.

menpo3d
A specialized library for working with 3D data. It is largely separate from the core menpo library as it has
dependencies on a number of large, 3D specific projects (like VTK, mayavi, assimp) which many people using
the Menpo Project would have no use for. You'll want to install menpo3d if you need to import and export 3D mesh data or perform advanced mesh processing.

menpowidgets
A key goal of the Menpo Project is to accelerate research in 2D and 3D computer vision by providing powerful visualization tools.
menpowidgets contains a collection of Jupyter Notebook Widgets for sophisticated visualization and interactive
inspection of the state of all Menpo objects.

menpocli
Command Line Interface (CLI) for the Menpo Project that allows to readily use pre-trained
state-of-the-art menpofit facial models. This is useful for people that only care to quickly acquire facial landmarks on their images.

landmarker.io
An interactive web-based tool for manual annotation of
2D images and 3D meshes. Useful to quickly landmark a single image, or organize a large annotation effort for thousands of files.
Features like Snap Mode and Dropbox compatibility make it unique.
